I have this huge directory of html and images, lets callit '/pages'.
I want a Perl module to take over serving the HTML from this directory, so I
can do smart redirects if the pages have expired.
So, I wrote a module, 'PageServer' to do this, and tested it by specifying

I'm trying to use Net::NNTP to connect to some newsservers. All is
working well apart from the one that doesn't listen on port 119. Is it
possible to tell Net::NNTP to use another port?

I have accessed google through the API and retuned a list of hits. How

Probably more of a basic ftp and (Shorewall) firewall configuration
issue, but I'll ask the question here anyway.
With the firewall running, and using the 'ftp' command line utility,
there's no problem. Here's a screenshot (debugging turned on):

Quite a lot of modules fail to install, this is the latest on my linux
system with Perl 5.8.0.
1. Using CPAN, how can you force an install? and
2. Any suggestions as how I can fix the failed blessing?

I would like to write some perl scripts that behave like 'ordinairy'
system commands. Is there a module that takes care of default switches,
getopt, usage messages, pipeline detection etc. ? It does seem I good
idea to implement these for every script over and over again. I saw the

HTML::Tree seems to have a problem with HTML::Parser; if I use a new
version of either, the parsefile test of "make test" fails (because
as_html is dropping the <foo> tags). It was working with HTML::Parser
3.26 and HTML::Tree 3.13 (I haven't checked intermediate versions).

It used to be that you could purchase CPAN on CD-ROM - I have an old one
put out by Walnut Creek (no longer in business).  I know CPAN is a
moving target, but those of us with slow web connections, and those with
bosses that let us use Perl and CPAN at work, but hesitate to let ...

I'm a perl newbie and am trying to install the Image::Imlib2 version
1.00 on my linux system. However, I am encountering problems during
the "Build" process.  I first installed imlib2-1.1.0 on my system and
that went well.  I then tried installing the Image::Imlib2 module.

I've constructed a fairly extensive object oriented 2D geometry
manipulation module which is currently capable of reading and writing dwg
and dxf formats via the OpenDWG consortiums toolkit.  It also currently
supports saving to postscript or Image::Magick raster formats without any

I'd like to get people's thoughts on this proposed module, especially
its name (Class::* doesn't seem right; Hash::Methods wouldn't be bad).

I like how you can do things like this in the Template Toolkit:

I have a script that, due to some requirements at work, has grown into
something quite usable.  It is essentially a Perl script that takes a series
of SQL statements and outputs the results to a BerkeleyDB (with various
indexes created, on a configurable basis).  I've been ...
